11/2/06 A rough First dose of Interlukin-2.

I was amitted about 2:00 pm with a little trouble securing a room. We were sent to three different waiting rooms 2 different times. The problem, no papers.
Any way, I received my first dose at 4:30 pm and the tremmors started at about nine (9:00 pm). It felt like someone was sitting on my chest and would not get off. They said my EKG showed some diffeences from the baseline and said I might have had a mild Heart attack. I also looked like a lobster. Red hives all over. I hope to catch a picture so I can post it. It looks like I spent to much time in Mexico.
So, they skipped the next dosage that was planned at 11:00 pm so I got a half way decent sleep. They opted to start the next dose at 7:00 am this morning and as soon as the shakes began (About (9:00 am)the gave me demerol and the shakes subsided in about 15 minutes. I am able to get around so I stopped at the Computer room. to make my entries. I am in room 746 west wing just passed the President (Bush).They are taking great care of me and they don't hesitate to stop if things look out of place.

That Is it for now.

Take Care
